Introducing the Red Centre, Australia's first National Landscape. An area recognised as quintessentially Australian and of exceptional natural and cultural significance. From hiking the spectacular Larapinta Trail, camping under brilliant starlit skies, connecting with the oldest culture on Earth, or nurturing your wellbeing, the Red Centre is a different kind of experience. Much more than you ever might have imagined. Situated in the heart of Australia's Outback, the Red Centre has at its core the legendary town of Alice Springs. Traversing east and west are the ancient MacDonnell Ranges. Head southwest and take in Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park, the World Heritage-listed Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and the Earth's oldest river, the Finke. Connecting these natural wonders, like the songlines of the dreamtime, is Australia's classic outback journey, the Red Centre Way—the perfect way to discover Alice, Uluru and everything in between.
